History
Camp Ridgecrest Alumni & Friends, Inc. was founded and incorporated on July 4, 1992, thanks largely to the efforts of Frank Johnson, who was Crafts Director that year. In the early 1990s, the Association made a commitment to fund at least two scholarships per year for needy campers, which has continued to the present. In the mid 1990s, work weekends in the spring and fall were added as ways to tangibly support the ministry of Camp Ridgecrest.
As the Association grew and matured, more ambitious projects were undertaken. Today, Camp Ridgecrest Alumni & Friends, Inc. is a vibrant organization with over 1000 members on five continents. The association annually raises over $75,000 for the ministry of Camp Ridgecrest for Boys and supports the camp through work-weekends, scholarships, and tangible gifts.
